3rd Annual CNPD Conference 2022

On behalf of the Centre for Natural Products Discovery (CNPD) and the Conference Organising Committee, I am delighted to invite you to participate in the 3rd Annual CNPD Conference 2022 on ‘Natural Products and their role in post-Covid-19 time’, which will be held virtually on 2-4 March 2022, honouring Professor Alexander I Gray (Sandy), one of the pioneers in phytochemical research.

This will be a unique three day conference showcasing the best in natural products research centred on the theme of “contemporary issues in natural products research relevant to post- Covid-19 revival and resilience”. The conference will comprise several invited talks (20 min) focusing on what matters most, to be delivered by leaders in natural products research from all over the world. The spotlight of the conference will then move to young scientists (PhD students and postdocs), who will present their work. The innovative addition to this conference are two individual sessions dedicated to open, interactive and participatory discussions with selected panel members and the audience on various issues and challenges around natural products research.

The conference will be held virtually and hosted by the Centre for Natural Products Discovery (CNPD) in conjunction with Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). The CNPD conducts externally-funded natural products research with the aim of discovering new high-value natural products that will contribute to tackling current and future societal and global challenges in health and well-being, socio-economic growth, natural conservation and environmental sustainability.

The CNPD is based in the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences at LJMU, which is the second oldest Pharmacy education provider in the UK and has a rich history of world-leading natural products research.

I look forward to welcoming you to this exciting conference. Please join us and have a great time with our CNPD.....!!!
